Devotees in Long Lines for Sabarimala Ayyappa Swamy Darshan
Mangaluru/Pathinanthitta: Thousands of devotees are arriving at Sabarimala, Kerala’s major religious site, to witness the Makar Jyothi. The Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB), which is ensuring adherence to the Kerala High Court’s directive to prevent any untoward incidents during the arrival of Ayyappa devotees, has made all necessary arrangements for the Makaravilakku festival. From January 8 to 15, 2025, only 5,000 devotees per day are allowed to book slots for the Sannidhanam spot.
The Makaravilakku festival, also known as Makar Jyothi, is marked by the sacred Karpura pooja at Ponnambalamedu. Every year, the festival attracts a large number of devotees. Devotees from various parts of the country, including Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu, are waiting to witness the Makar Jyothi today (Jan 14). As a precautionary measure, the booking limit has been set to 40,000 today for public safety.
On December 30, a heavy crowd of around 15,000 devotees crossed the queue, attempting to enter the temple directly to the 18 steps, leading to a major stampede. Following this incident, many devotees had protested due to the disorder. In response, the TDB has strengthened the management of queues and increased security to prevent such incidents. The Kerala High Court had expressed concern about the crowd density.

Adult Content Creators Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison goes Viral
Ankara: An Istanbul court has sentenced 27 adult content creators and adult film performers to 10 years in prison each for allegedly earning money by selling explicit videos on online platforms.

The action was taken as part of an ongoing investigation into cyber-related crimes and the online distribution of sexually explicit content. Authorities said the individuals used adult websites and subscription-based platforms to share and sell explicit material.
According to the court, the accused earned money by uploading their own explicit videos and offering other adult-oriented services through online platforms. Investigators found that they continued their activities despite restrictions imposed by the government.

Turkey blocked a major adult content website in 2023. However, officials said some creators bypassed the restrictions by changing their IP addresses and using other online platforms to continue sharing content and generating income.
The investigation began after the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office received several complaints regarding the online activities. Following the inquiry and court proceedings, the court sentenced all 27 individuals to 10 years in prison.
